Brake Fluid Capacity?
I am getting ready to install a set of GT500 Brembos (and possible braided lines while I'm in there). While I have the system apart, I was going to upgrade to either ATE super blue or Motul RBF600. Can anyone tell me how much fluid I need to completely flush and refill the system? Any help is appreciated. Thanks,

so if I go with the RBF600, which comes in 1/2 liters bottles, would three be enough? Thanks for the help. It's good to hear from people with experience. I've read all over about different pads and cooling ducts and brake kits, but no one ever mentioned how much fluid was required.

+1 on 2 litres to be safe.
I used to ATE Super Blue last season as the blue colour lets you know all of the original fluid is out. This season I'm using the ATE TYP 200 as it is the same fluid but amber colour. Again the colour changes lets you know the old fluid is all out.

Me too, lol. There's a German car shop right down the street from my house and I swung by to see if they had any. They didn't, but they had a supply truck leaving Houston in 30 minutes, so the shop owner called the driver and him throw 2 liters in the truck with him. He told me to come back in 2 hours and he had it waiting for me. It ended up being a little more expensive than if I had gotten it online, but it only took 2 1/2 hours to get.
